Really enjoyed the race, great to see Mclaren's challenging the Bull's before the crash too.

On another note...yikes.

That was an awesome race yesterday, great to see LH win again.

It really seemed like Vettel thought it was Webbers fault for the crash but Vettel clearly moved right into Webber, he shouldn't be doing that.

I look at it like I look at regular driving: if you force someone else to manouver to avoid an accident you're doing it wrong. I'd put the blame on Vettel

JESUS! The driver that Conway hit and then subsequently went over the top of in a ball of flying debris was VERY lucky. Scary stuff.

Liked the F1 A LOT, good race. Think Vettel was a bit daft and is starting to look a little desperate!

Rossi crashed in Practise today and it appears he's fractured his Tibia.

[bwi]

Just said its the first time hes been out since he started racing. Thats some run he had going though luck always did seem to favour him at times.

I think its lorenzo's title to lose now.

Shiiiiiiiit.

[TheForce]

a damn shame, looks like we won't see Rossi for quite some time on the racetrack
I hope this accident won't be the ending of Rossi's carreer just like with Mick Doohan back then...
I hope Lorenzo will get some stiff competition for the rest of the season

What do people think of Lorenzo? I get the impression people think he's a c*ck but he's probably my favourite rider. I find his arrogance entertaining, I hope he's just doing it for a laugh.

[Roddie]

He's an arrogant twat; looks like he'll have the championship gifted to him now.

[bwi]

when lorenzo and pedrosa were on the 250's i hated him (lorenzo). But since then I've kind of warmed to him as hes not as cocky as he was before, plus he has a ongoing spat with pedrosa which always makes me smile, just to see that look on puig's face when his man doesnt win and the big boss of honda is thinking "were never going to get the championship with this donkey , go sign stoner quick"

ok i might have made upi the last bit

Lorenzo is a douche but on the right side of douchebaggery. He's already grown whilst being in MotoGP and will continue to turn into a more pleasant personality. He'll always be second to the party but being second to a mangod like Rossi is good enough.

Lorenzo and Hamilton are in the same area to me but as Lorenzo will progress over time Hamilton is all he ever will be.

It's TT time again! I'm not a big bike fan at all but the TT is awesome. It gets the hairs on your neck standing up watching them hammer along at crazy speeds. Coverage is on ITV4 and probably some other places too.

[NW2013]

There's some BTCC on ITV2 today (12pm) for anyone who watches it. Just me?

[vanpeebles]

I'll be watching! And the support races too.
